In regards to the sundowning diagnosis was it a diagnosis of exclusion (did
they rule everything else out) or a diagnosis of convenience (donít know what
else it could be and this satisfies the dr)? What is the reason behind no
consult to neuro or other specialists? If you want this youíll have to be
very adamant about your reasons. Ask them how many patients have they seen
with sundowning and how did they come to this diagnosis. Ask them why they
donít think thereís another cause for her behaviour.

She should be given Reglan to help with the gastroparesis. It will move the
food. Creon will help digest. Just be aware reglan does have mental side
effects.

Youíre in a tough place cause everyone wants to give their opinion. The best
defense you can have is to get medical information that will help you
challenge anyone from preventing you from getting answers and resolution.
Look up info on uptodate and pubmed. Write back if you have any more
questions.
